When you get there, there is a video on the screen. That is NOT what it's like. Thank Goodness !! He looked at that video and was even more livid. I asked the lady can the scare actors not go hard on him. I pointed to the video and she said Oh, that's in L.A. where it's bigger and much more. After everything was said and done, my son loved it. He said Okay, that was pretty great. All of us agreed that it was the best one that we've done out of a dozen.

My work team split into two groups and did rooms 13 and the Gambler…read more We both escaped before the 60 minute mark - using 2/3 free clues each per room. These were two of the easier - if not the easiest - rooms. No complicated locks, etc. However, nobody in our group knew much about cards, gambling, Vegas etc. so we felt a little out of our league and definitely made some puzzles harder than they needed to be! Pretty simple puzzles and solutions, but with a group of 6 new-to-escape rooms players and mix of ages, there was some user-error. I'd say this room could have easily been done with 3-4 player and probably 2 would have been okay. Staff was friendly, no issues throughout our visit! They also took our group photo after we broke out and sent it to each group member (using our contact info we provided at registration) as we were leaving. Only tip is to arrive early if you want to use metered street parking since that is limited.

We did the race rooms, two identical rooms where two teams can compete against each other and the clock. We decided to pit the guys against the girls. An unfortunate decision, as the girls in our group are a cohesive force of lateral thinking while the guys are your basic gang of idiots. We all managed to have fun anyway.

This was our first time doing an escape room at this facility. We did the Legacy of the Dragon room…read moreand really enjoyed it. Most escape rooms we have done have many locks to open. This room didn't have a single lock, so I liked that it was different from others we have done. We needed 2 extra minutes, but with that little bit of extra time we did manage to escape. It was a fun time with our niece who we were visiting for the Thanksgiving holiday. Doing an escape room with her has sort of become a tradition, so we will be back again next year to escape from another room.

We were looking for a way to beat the heat, and decided on going to Stark Caverns. I hopped online…read moreto purchase tickets, and saw that we would need to purchase one for my 18-month old grandson also. Unfortunately, there were not enough available tickets for all three adults and him. I called out to the Caverns to explain the issue and ask if it would be okay. Matt, who answered the phone, said it would be no problem and to just go ahead and purchase the adult tickets. Upon arrival there was ample parking and it was a beautiful place. We headed into the gift shop and checked in for our tour and checked out all of their wares. Gracie led our tour of the caverns. She was so knowledgeable and just a sweet girl. The tour was a great way to spend part of the afternoon. Everyone in our tour group (ages 1-40+) really seemed to enjoy it! If you have some time to spare, you don't want to miss this family friendly, educational, tour.

Genuinely cool cave. There are algae fossils in there from when Missouri was underwater millions of…read moreyears ago, which is a wild thing to stand next to. Sadly our guide Macy was less "passionate cave enthusiast" and more "reciting a script she's said a thousand times and stopped listening to herself." I still don't know how this part of Missouri used to be an ocean based on the tour. She gave the exact same intro four separate times. Not because groups were bumping into each other, just straight up robot mode, probably from also trying to work in the photo package pitch every single time. Ask a follow up question and you'd get a shrug dressed up as an answer. A kid asked about a mineral and got a confident "nope, not that" immediately followed by "I'm not really a gem expert," which, ma'am, pick one. Nobody could tell us where all the clay that used to be in the cave went (there's a lot of water now after the excavation), how the bootleggers pulled off their operation, or whether the cave's ever taken earthquake damage. Also they sell alcohol at the gift shop right before you head into a dark cave, which feels like a liability seminar waiting to happen. What indigenous tribe did the skeleton remains belong to? How did you know it was an indigenous person(s)? What is the difference between an arrowhead and a spear, and when did those relics be given to be on display? She said the stairs were built by child labor because there are child sized handprints in the concrete, but provided no evidence of truth or why. Was it his 18 kids? No one knows. At least it was cool inside while the weather was hot outside. The cave has a story to tell. Macy just wasn't the one telling it. Would recommend the cave, would not recommend Macy. She already told us she's had a bad Yelp review, and I'm sad to say I understand why.

A somewhat underground phenomenon "escape rooms" are gaining traction as a family friendly and…read morebonding experience unlike any other. The basic premise is you and a group enter into a room or series of rooms with little direction and you must find clues to solve puzzles in order to finish the adventure. The complexity and difficulty are explained to the participants before purchase allowing the experience to be customized based on comfort level. Now that we've established a groundwork of what an escape room is, I'll describe my experience. I flew in to Kansas City to see my 17 graduate and spend time with her and my 14 yr old. It's somewhat of a tradition of ours to do an escape room. My daughter did some searches and based on rating decided to give "The Exit Room" a shot. I'm not sure how prices stack up for other facilities and I thought they were a lot higher than others however it was worth it. The Exit Room's location is fairly easy to find, parking is plentiful and the location in a safe area. Walking in is pretty neat with several areas great for photo ops. The guide (sorry if that's not what the person is called) was pleasant greeting us and gave us a run down of all the things we needed to know. He guided us to our destination, wished us luck and shut the door. I don't want to give to much away but, in the room, there's a monitor in case you're in need of hints. You hold up a sign for help and the "guide" will assist via intercom. We did need one hint and I rather liked the ambiguity b/c it wasn't to the point of "press that button" rather, "look closely at the puzzle and notice the direction." The carefully crafted responses were given to not ruin the experience. The puzzles themselves varied in nature. A physical slide puzzle here, a series of puzzles with colors there and several puzzles that had clues fit into a larger puzzle. Basically, the rooms are meant to challenge both sides of the brain but patience is a virtue. After successfully completing a puzzle an audio/visual cue is given thus a small shot of dopamine hits the brain simulating reward. While not only indicating the current puzzle is complete, it reinvigorates hope and focuses your attention on the next obstacle. I can't recall exactly but I believe my 60-minute adventure had a total of 15 or so puzzles. The only small issue I had was with the final puzzle but I'm not going to divulge my irritation with the implementation of said puzzle. Overall, my girls and I enjoyed the experience. While I'm a very deep thinking my greatest experience came from letting my kids take ownership and watching my oldest child take over, demonstrating leadership, organization and analytical thinking. This is an interaction occasion not a sitting on the sofa type of atmosphere. The Exit Room provides the perfect adventure for those willing to challenge themselves and try something different. I highly encourage everyone to take my "hint" and give it a shot.

There are several different rooms to choose from, so pick your theme and go for it. We will definitely be going back to take our chances on a different room. Highly recommended for a fun family activity, however due to reading, analyzing and things of that nature, younger children would most likely not understand much of what is going on and may get frustrated. My opinion is no younger than age 10 unless the child reads and comprehends well and can think somewhat analytically along with having an older child or adult to partner with.
